It would appear that the early license plate light (914 631 601 00) is NLA. To purchase new it looks like URO is the only option. I did a search and found one negative view of the quality of these lights, but no positive comments either. Can anyone comment on their quality?
Also, Pelican, Stoddard, and Sierra Madre have them, with the latter having a slightly better price at the moment. Is there any preference for dealing with one of these vendors? I've bought from Pelican before, but not the others. |

Our shop stopped using URO parts because of the lack of quality. They are just cheap crap. URO just means , uro going have to replace it when it breaks. Many times it’s broken out of the box or falls apart during assembly. They really are the definition of cheap Chinese junk.
Want to play Russian roulette, buy a URO master brake cylinder. |

I played the Russian roulette game with URO's master cylinder. I went cheap several years ago, and ordered one from JC whitney. It did work for just over a year, later to find it had puked brake fluid all over my new carpet. Don't go cheap, especially with anything brake related. Support your member venders. |

Most issues with the master cylinder were related to the OE stand-off washers not being reused, which results in leakage at the feed line grommets. ATE ran into the same issue with people not re-using the washers, so they started providing the washers with their master cylinders. We're working on doing the same, and will provide them pre-installed in the near future.
It's an easy thing to miss during installation, and providing the washers will simplify the installation. |
